During that call we\u2019ll ask you to describe a bit about yourself, what your life is like right now, what led you to reach out, and what you want to gain from therapy. If we feel that we could be a good fit, we can schedule our first session together. If we don\u2019t feel that we are a good fit, it is absolutely nothing personal \u2013 it simply means that we believe that you would benefit more from work with a different professional. If that is the case we will provide you with referrals that we believe may be more beneficial.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"eb-accordion-wrapper\" data-clickable=\"false\"><div class=\"eb-accordion-title-wrapper\"><span class=\"eb-accordion-icon-wrapper\"><span class=\"fas fa-caret-down eb-accordion-icon\"><\/span><\/span><h3 class=\"eb-accordion-title\">Are sessions virtual or in-person?<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"eb-accordion-content-wrapper\"><p class=\"eb-accordion-content\">Either!
